Figure 1.Strong's Hebrew Greek Dictionary.
5604 is the original Greek word mis-rendered as "Pangs of distress" in Matthew 24:8 and Mark 13:8 in the New World Translation. See "figure 5" for proof of the Greek word numbered 5604,which is the Original Greek word for "pangs of distress". 5605 is the Greek word in Revelation 12:2 describing the pains that come from "Birth-pangs". But BOTH "birth pains" which are part of "Birth-pangs" happen before a Birth.
These 3 pictures from the "Strongs concordance" dictionary,show the Original Greek meaning of "Birth-pangs" which is mis-rendered "pangs of distress" in the New World Translation. Just as "jehovah's witnesses" have gone back to the original Hebrew to discover where YHWH existed,now they have to do the same with "pangs of distress". Is this an accurate rendering of "birth-pangs"? No."pangs of distress" teaches the opposite of "birth-pangs" which IS the Greek word Christ used when talking about the "Signs". Only by going back to the Original Greek language do we discover what Christ really said....and the correct Greek word that He used.
He called the "Signs" Birth-pangs.
Birth-pangs occur before a Birth NOT AFTER as "pangs of distress" wrongly teaches. The Kingdom Interlinear Translation published by The Watchtower Society also backs "Birth-pangs" as the correct original Greek word,as seen below.
Figure 2. Kingdom Interlinear Translation published by The Watchtower Society of Matthew 24.
Greek on the left. English on the right.
Notice the Original Greek word for "pangs of distress" is on the left,which the Governing Body admits is, Birth-pangs.
Birth-pangs occur BEFORE a Birth,not after. The Signs Christ spoke about are Birth-pangs and they happen before the Birth of Gods kingdom. Revelation 12:2 below confirms that Birth-pangs happen before a birth. Thats why they are called Birth-Pangs.
Figure 3. Kingdom Interlinear Translation published by The Watchtower Society of Mark 13.
Greek on the left. English on the right.
Notice the Original Greek word for "pangs of distress" is on the left,which the Governing Body admits is, Birth-pangs.
There are 2 scriptural concepts being shown on the same page of Mark 13:8 and Matthew 24:8,in both copies of the Kingdom Interlinear Translation. On the left,the original Greek word "Birth-pangs",which Christ used,rightly shows birth-pangs happen before a birth. On the right,we see "pangs of distress" teaching another idea about the Signs. That they happen after a birth.
You have 2 conflicting ideas about how birth-pangs happen on the same page. How is that possible?
"Pangs of distress" does not reflect Jesus intentions regarding the "signs". JESUS said Birth-pangs.The Governing Body admit this is what Christ said because they printed what Jesus said on the Left ! Yet,the "Governing Body" have made up an expression that does not reflect the True Greek meaning and added it to the "New World Translation",which is on the right and in every copy of the "New World Translation" .
This deliberate error has been in every copy of "New World Translation" since 1950.
The proof is here for you to see.
Birth-pangs occur BEFORE a Birth,not after. The Signs Christ spoke about are Birth-pangs and they happen before the Birth of Gods kingdom. Revelation 12:2 below confirms that Birth-pangs happen before a birth. Thats why they are called Birth-Pangs.
Thus with Matt 24 AND Mark 13,there are 2 accounts of Christ calling the "Signs" "Birth-pangs". Birth- pangs occur before a Birth. Thus the "Signs" Christ had just described,happen before the Birth of Gods Kingdom.
Revelation 12:2.
Greek on the left. English on the right.
Jah is setting an important scriptural precedent in this verse. Birth-Pangs happen before a Birth. This is certainly true of a physical birth,but Jah is telling us that in the CONTEXT of God's Kingdom being Born,its the same.
This is what Revelation 12:2 is explaining about Gods Kingdom. Before it is Born,birth-pangs occur. This verse proves it !
Birth-pangs happen before a Birth. Matthew 24 and Mark 13 record Christ using the term "Birth-pangs" in reference to the "Signs". So the "Birth-pang Signs" happen before Gods Kingdom is Born. "Pangs of distress" is not in harmony with the Original Greek,which the Kingdom Interlinear Translation published by The Watchtower Society,proves.
Jah through Revelation,is explaining that "Birth-pangs" occur before a Birth,not after. "Pangs of distress" teaches the opposite of the original Greek.Pangs of distress teaches that Birth-pangs occur after a Birth. But this verse uses the same Greek word that's in Matt 24 and Mark 13. Therefore,the Signs which are Birth-Pangs occur before the Birth of Gods Kingdom.

Figure 6. Interlinear Bible purchased from the The Watchtower Society of Mark 13. Please note the Greek word for Birth Pangs is numbered:5604. Use "Figure one" above of the Strong's Dictionary to see explanation of the Greek word.
Figure 7. Interlinear Bible purchased from the The Watchtower Society of Revelation 12. Please note the Greek word for Birth Pangs is numbered:5605,which comes from 5604. Use "Figure one" above of the Strong's Dictionary to see explanation of the Greek word.
This is another interlinear bible that shows the original Greek word for "pangs of distress" in the NWT is actually "Birth-Pangs". As is seen by these 3 scriptures and the Original Greek within the Kingdom Interlinear Translation published by The Watchtower Society,Christ called the Signs "Birth-Pangs". According to Revelation 12:2 and the experiences of Billions of Women,Birth-pangs occur before a Birth,not after a Birth.
